Hello everyone!

I hope this post goes through.

Anyway, I only have one LEGO train set: Lego 4534-1 Express Deluxe that my wife
got me for Christmas a few years back.

I have been ogling all the trains that you all have built throughout the years.
I would like to try my hand at making a steam engine, and cars, like the ones in
my set, but 8 wide.

I've been trying to find a web site that gives step-by-step instructions on how
to buld 8 wide trains but haven't found what I'm looking for.  Is there a site
out there you all would recommend?

Also, out of curiosity, the engine that came with my set is listed as #4186868
but I have also found it listed as 10205-1 Large Train Engine with Tender,
Black.  Is there a reason there would be two seperate numbers for the exact same
thing?

Thanks for the help!
Larry

You need the help of John Neal!!!

My suggestion would be to go through Lugnet's train group and look for post by
him.  At the start of the decade, the train's group was simmering with activity
and John N. was (and still is!) a strong proponent for 8 wide (and larger!)
trains back then.

He's posted some stuff here recently, maybe he'll catch you post.
